  Speaker 1: Third and final hour of the program. Here glad to
• 0:02
  have you with us for this final hour of the
• 0:04
  program on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone. Craigway,
• 0:07
  Cameron Parker with you up until five o'clock. Coming up
• 0:12
  in a few minutes. Gene Watson, our MLB insider from
• 0:14
  the Chicago White Sox front office.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Joins us. We got his predictions last week.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: And they were mostly on Paar.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: What was his World Series prediction again?
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, he's got the Padres and the Guardians. Okay, so
• 0:32
  far that's holding up. Now.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: We did have the Astros winning a day last year.
• 0:37
  I think he had.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Was it Rangers Dodgers or Rangers Phillies, Rangers Phillies, I think.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: It was Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got Padres and Guardians
• 0:47
  and it doesn't look too bad right now. Guardians, both
• 0:50
  of them swept the Wild Card series. Padres and Dodgers
• 0:53
  are tied at a game apiece after sanding he was
• 0:55
  ten to two drubbing of the Dodgers last night at
• 0:57
  Chavez Ravine. The Guardians one game one of their Division
• 1:02
  Series seven or nothing over the Tigers.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Right now it is scoreless.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Uh and that ballgame is in the top of the
• 1:10
  fourth inning and the Tigers have a runner at second
• 1:13
  with one out, and that inning actually a runner at
• 1:16
  third with one out as it is scoreless there. But
• 1:19
  we'll talk more about that with Gino coming up as well.
• 1:24
  We've we've talked quite a bit about college football. We'll
• 1:26
  hear more from Steve Sarkaisian this hour. But with regard
• 1:28
  to the NFL, what was the most surprising result to
• 1:33
  you yesterday on to day that featured some surprises.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good question.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Huh mmm.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I think what we saw in San Francisco. I mentioned
• 1:48
  earlier in the season it could be the year from
• 1:50
  hell for San Francisco in the offseason with all of
• 1:53
  of course, you know the contract disputees going on with that,
• 1:56
  you CA and Trent Williams, and you know CMC was injured,
• 1:59
  but he said in like week two, oh I would
• 2:02
  you know, if the game was today, I would play.
• 2:04
  And here we are in what now going in the
• 2:07
  week six, and you still have no idea if he's
• 2:09
  coming back. And you know San Francisco now two and
• 2:13
  three didn't score a single point in the second half
• 2:16
  against the Cardinals defense. That you look at, it is
• 2:20
  not all that great. So I think the alarm bells
• 2:22
  really and every team in the NFC West right now
• 2:25
  are going off. I mean, you mentioned Rams, who easily
• 2:28
  could be three and one, four and oh as supposed
• 2:30
  to one and four, but same thing. I mean, Matthew
• 2:32
  Stafford's out throwing the Uber Drivers. I mean, the team
• 2:35
  is so banged up injury wise. And then Seattle inexplicably
• 2:40
  loses to the New York Giants at home and just
• 2:44
  a really weird game. And of course, you know they
• 2:46
  played Monday night, and you know they had that back
• 2:49
  and forth game, that Seattle loss in which Gino threw
• 2:52
  for like seven hundred yards against Detroit, and you know,
• 2:54
  maybe you can factor that in just an emotional letdown game.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: The NFC West.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Greg just it's a really really weird division to kind
• 3:03
  of figure out.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: And now, of course it's eighteen weeks.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: It's only week five, and we're probably gonna look back
• 3:08
  at the first month and just you know, throw it
• 3:11
  out the window because that's usually how it goes. But
• 3:14
  my top biggest result is the biggest surprise from the
• 3:17
  weekend I think was just San Francisco now falling the
• 3:19
  two and three.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: All right, complete this sentence for me. The Washington Commanders
• 3:24
  are hm M.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know, because on one hand, four and one
• 3:31
  leading the NFC East offenses look good, Jaydon Dennis look good.
• 3:35
  But also you know they've beaten the Browns. Okay, I'm
• 3:40
  not going to give you that beating the Giants, not
• 3:41
  going to give you that. Cincinnati could be a good win.
• 3:44
  And then Arizona, we know, who knows they might be
• 3:46
  the best team in the NFC East. But the jury
• 3:48
  I think is still out in Washington, Craig, I want
• 3:50
  to see it. Let me see this team continue to
• 3:52
  win games like that deeper into November before we go
• 3:56
  ahead and anoint the Commanders as the best NFC East team,
• 4:00
  which they very might be.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Here's what they have coming up, and tell me, just
• 4:05
  off the top of your head, if you think it's
• 4:07
  win or loss. Next Sunday they go forty miles up
• 4:12
  by ninety five, they play the Ravens in Baltimore.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: How is this game a noon game? This is not
• 4:17
  the Sunday night football game. I'm gonna lean Baltimore. But hey,
• 4:21
  you know every Baltimore is coming off that weird win
• 4:24
  against Cincinnati.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Then this is a three to zero five game, they
• 4:27
  host the Panthers. I hope they win that game. Okay,
• 4:31
  then they have a Newon game at home against the Bears.
• 4:33
  There you go, Jayden Daniels, killb Williams. You're gonna probably
• 4:37
  Washington would probably be favored. But hey, Caleb looked a
• 4:39
  lot better against Carolina this last Sunday. So who knows
• 4:43
  where it will be at in two weeks.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: And then they and then they play at the Giants. Yeah,
• 4:50
  when they're you're thinking at home.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I would just say this if I were completing that sentence,
• 4:54
  I would say the Commanders are a real contender in
• 5:00
  the East simply because of their schedule and the way
• 5:05
  the East is shaken down. Now, do they still have
• 5:08
  tough games up?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: They play the Steelers at home, they got to go
• 5:11
  to Philly obviously, then they have the Cowboys coming in.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Then you know, then they got the Times come in.
• 5:16
  They have to go to New Orleans.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: They have the Eagles at home, the Falcons at home,
• 5:22
  and they finish on New Year's well, right after New
• 5:30
  Year's Day, it's on the fifth when they finish at
• 5:32
  Jerry World against the Cowy can you imagine fact comes
• 5:34
  down to a playoff spot between those two or for
• 5:38
  the NFC East.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Do you have any Commander fans in your life, Craig.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: When I grew up in North Carolina, my dad had
• 5:46
  become a then Washington Redskins fan because it was the
• 5:49
  closest NFL team in the early sixties. The Falcons didn't
• 5:53
  come into existence in nineteen sixty six, and they were awful.
• 5:55
  And it's about equal distant Greensboro is to both Washington,
• 5:58
  d c.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: And to Atlanta.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It's about, you know, five hours or so either way
• 6:03
  to both. And Washington got good with George Allen. They
• 6:06
  went to the Super Bowl and all that stuff. So
• 6:09
  he but but I'll tell you the minute he moved
• 6:11
  to Texas, he changed like that. He became a Cowboys fan. Yep, yep,
• 6:15
  really did. I had my brothers. One of them kind
• 6:20
  of liked him, but he was more of a Jets
• 6:22
  fan because of Joe Amath. My oldest brother, second oldest
• 6:25
  brother was a Packer fan and then became a Steeler fan,
• 6:28
  and now he's kind of a Cowboys fan. And my
• 6:31
  younger brother was always a Cowboys fan well, even when
• 6:34
  we were growing up North Carolina.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: And of course I was the god duck out being
• 6:36
  a Rams fan.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: But but but I had people all around me who
• 6:42
  were Washington fans. I did you know when they went
• 6:46
  by Washington football team, one of the one of their
• 6:50
  fans was Linda. She liked them because she liked the
• 6:53
  name Washington football team. In fact, I even got her
• 6:55
  a long sleeve T shirt that's a Washington football team
• 6:58
  on it. Once they changed the Commanders that she's done
• 7:01
  with them. That's why her eyes kind of lit up
• 7:03
  when I told her about the brand new NHL team
• 7:06
  in Salt Lake City and so moving up from Phoenix.
• 7:09
  They're no longer the Phoenix Tidies. Aren't they going to
• 7:11
  be called the Utah Hockey Club? She kind of got
• 7:14
  excited about that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I have one Commander's fan in my life. This season.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: It's like if you have a friend who hasn't had
• 7:21
  a girlfriend in like five years and he finally gets one,
• 7:24
  He's like, oh, this, this is incredible. This is how
• 7:26
  it is for Commanders fans because they have not been
• 7:28
  good since what the RG three season that was twenty twelve.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and here's another reason why it's easy to against them.
• 7:34
  They've had horrible, horrible despicable ownership. Despicable ownership. So finally
• 7:41
  that stuff is being cleared off the books. But they've
• 7:43
  played in a sewer. It's a terrible stadium. It aged
• 7:49
  very quickly and not well at all. And you know
• 7:52
  all the stories about what was it the human waste
• 7:58
  draining all kind of stuff in this rain storms and
• 8:01
  it was a mess. When Texas played Maryland Office, I
• 8:04
  heard the stands were flooding, right, people, and the worst
• 8:07
  broadcast booth I've ever worked in a bar none. Oh,
• 8:10
  I'm told you hadn't been to Vanderbilt yet because it's
• 8:15
  under construction, and you hadn't done a game in the
• 8:17
  Orange Bowl. We haven't done a game there at hard Rock.
• 8:23
  It's supposedly on the corner and low and really bad
• 8:26
  and all that other kind of stuff. But you know whatever,
• 8:29
  we'll see if that happens anyway. Yeah, it's interesting to
• 8:33
  see how there's now there are some commanders. Hence we'll
• 8:35
  see where it goes from here. All right, Up next,
• 8:37
  we talked some baseball of the postseason variety with Geene Watson,
• 8:40
  our MLB insider, on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the
• 8:43
  zone of the Iart Radio app.
